Everything You Need To Know About The Gucci Fall Winter 2025 Show

It’s the First Show Post-Sabato de Sarno

Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2025 show was the moment – marking the first since Sabato de Sarno waved goodbye to the label. With the creative director role still up for grabs, the in-house design team stepped into the spotlight, offering a sneak peek at Gucci’s future. With Gucci’s revenue recently taking a 26 per cent hit, dropping to 1.64 billion euros, the stakes have never been higher.

The Design Team Took Their Bow

As the world eagerly awaits de Sarno’s successor, the spotlight shifted to Gucci’s in-house design team, who made their moment count. Over 20 of them, all dressed in green Gucci sweatshirts, took a bow at the finale – showing off their team spirit and role in shaping the brand’s future.

K-Pop Royalty Made an Appearance

Jin from BTS stole the spotlight, front and centre after being named Gucci’s global ambassador. He was in good company with Squid Game‘s Lee Jung Jae and actress Park Gyu Young.

The Runway Was a Sleek Green Space

Gucci’s iconic GG logo is turning 50, and it’s celebrating in true style. The runway was lined with intertwined dark green “G’s,” blending men’s and women’s collections with chic precision. The mirrored ceiling gave off a surreal Inception vibe, while models glided down a dark green carpet, flanked by velvet curtains. Think Gucci meets the Twilight Zone – elegant, but with a touch of mystery.

Dark Green Was the Colour of the Day

Forget last year’s “Brat summer green” – this season, it’s all about moody, forest vibes. Think Gucci webbing with a dash more drama.

The Rest of the Colours are Soooo Fall/Winter

Greens, greys, mauves, and browns took over the runway in the most autumnal way possible, setting the tone for the 60-look collection.

Horsebits Galore

The Horsebit 1955 bag is marking its 70th birthday, and Gucci threw it a celebration to remember, spotlighting its iconic equestrian hardware. From oversized to minuscule, Horsebit details popped up everywhere – on jewellery, leather goods, and just about anything that could be accessorised. If you missed a Horsebit, did you even attend the show?

Say Hello to “Sprezzatura”

Gucci is all about that Italian sprezzatura – the effortlessly cool, perfectly imperfect vibe we all secretly wish we could nail. Think of it as Italy’s answer to French chic’s je ne sais quoi, and trust us, it was on full display. Sharp, tailored suiting met flashes of flesh and pops of colour, while the interplay of hard and soft materials made things interesting. Brushed mohair shirts, mother-of-pearl leathers, coated wools, and bonded boucles all played together in a masterclass of fabric experimentation – classicism with a twist and just the right amount of subversion. Effortless? Absolutely.

Live Orchestra, Because Why Not?

Naturally, the show featured a live orchestra performing an exclusive score by two-time Oscar winner Justin Hurwitz, who wrote the score for La La Land (2016). It was cinematic, emotional, and basically the soundtrack to every fashion lover’s dream.

A More Tailored, Grown-Up Vibe

If Sabato de Sarno’s collections were all about fun, flirty, and easy-to-wear, this one turned up the sophistication dial. Think sharp, tailored pieces in slubbed tweeds, crepe shirting, brushed mohair, and mother-of-pearl leathers – classic with just the right amount of twist. Greens, greys, mauves, and browns added that effortlessly chic, grown-up edge we didn’t know we needed.

Lace Was Seen Here and There

Lace-trimmed slip dresses and the occasional cheeky flash of flesh brought that perfect Gucci mix of rebellion and elegance. It wasn’t all sugar and spice – just enough edge to keep things interesting.

Could Tom Ford Have Been On the Mood Board?

The Gucci Tom Ford era influence is clear in the mix of sharp tailoring, luxe fabrics, and just the right amount of rebellion. Ford’s signature was that blend of polished sophistication with a dose of sensuality. The “more tailored, grown-up vibe” in slubbed tweeds, mohair, and mother-of-pearl leathers channels Ford’s love for structured, sharp silhouettes. Flashbacks to his era were seen in pointy-collared shirts from Look 17 and Look 24. And let’s not forget the lace-trimmed slip dresses and cheeky flashes of flesh – a nod to Ford’s trademark provocative elegance. This collection is a stylish homage to his knack for balancing refinement with rebellion.

SLGs Take Centre Stage

Say hello to SLGs (aka slutty little glasses). These teeny, thin, metal-framed specs bring all the bold, cheeky, and slightly rebellious energy. Gucci’s twist? Round frames and golden aviators that exude “cool” with a generous dash of sass.

Pencil Skirts Were Working It

This might just be Gucci’s most prim and proper collection yet, with pencil skirts taking centre stage and making a strong case for business chic. Sharp, polished, and dripping with sophistication – like you’ve just come from a board meeting… and a cocktail party.

The Shaggy Hobo Is a Vibe

Who says everything has to be serious? To spice things up, the accessories team took a hobo bag (no word yet if it's the Jackie) and gave it a playful twist we didn’t know we needed: oversized, shaggy, furry, and in bold, bright colours. It’s the kind of bag that demands attention and gives us all the fun we’ve been craving.
